Vianney Surawski (left) of the Queensland Congregation and Mrs Fay Nixon, a Presentation Associate, are pictured here about to go on home visitation of the sick in the parish of Murgon, north-west of Brisbane. After retiring from school and music teaching ministry, Vianney is now engaged in parish activities - visitation of the hospital and Castra (the Retirement Home of the Aged at Murgon), visiting the sick in their homes, being with senior citizens who come from surrounding towns for day care, Meals-on-Wheels, and music ministry.

This is Margaret Kehoe of the Queensland Congregation with some of the children she shares her life with in a poor shanty town on the outskirts of Lima, Peru, South America. "Our challenge as Presentation Sisters in Lima is to be a presence amongst the poor, living as they live, experiencing life from their perspective. Flowing from this, we focus our energies on changing the mentalities and structures which keep the women so oppressed. Training in work skills, education, manual crafts, self-esteem, dance, aerobics, alternative medicines, etc, help them to discover their own worth and dignity as women and this does change the quality of their lives and the lives of their children."

Many Sisters of the Queensland Congregation participate in Peace Rallies and Marches. Some are pictured here with friends from other religious orders marching in Brisbane under the banner "Believing Women for a Culture of Peace" on the first anniversary of war being declared on Iraq.
